2014 Map of Billy Meadows

About this map

Billy Meadows and Getchel Meadows sit high atop the ridges of the Wallowa National Forest, defining a landscape where remote high-country hydrology and forest management intersect. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages including McCarty Gulch, Telephone Gulch, and French Gulch, which feed into larger systems like Ellis Canyon and Big Canyon. Water sources are densely mapped, reflecting the importance of springs such as Coyote Spring, Baldwin Spring, and Bear Spring for local grazing or wildlife. This 2014 survey documents the complex network of Forest Service roads, including Nat For Dev Rd 46 and Billy Meadows Rd, which provide access to these isolated elevations. Infrastructure like the Volstead Reservoir suggests managed water resources in an otherwise wild environment of timber and open mountain meadows.
